Re: What do i need for a tune up

Buy some carby cleaner and spray it down the throttle body about 1/4 of the can then start the car and rev it to keep it running then spray another 1/4 of the can down the throttle body while running.Hopefully that will fix the idle problem How long ago did you replace spark plugs and fuel filter air filter

You need to study or research info on tune-upsBasically it is a sales pitch, as only spark plugs are left& tune-ups stopped 25 years ago from a technical perspectiveYour not actually tuning anythingYou replacing old spark plugs,gas & air filter etc,that has been called preventative maintenance for over 20 yearsFor the last 30 years the vehicles Computer does all the engine tuning

The maintenance tune ups, for most of the cars, are scheduled at 30K, 60K , 90K miles. If you are late on the scheduled maintenance tune up, of course your car needs it, but to find the problem you need a "Check and Advice", only at Volvo dealer. It cost $65 to $100, on the top of tune up cost.

Wow, tough decision,You need to determine why the over heating,are you losing coolant,if you are it could be anything from a radiator to water pump on the famous 4.3 intake leaking,if your not losing coolant,well it could be thermostat,head gasket,cooling fans .And you didn't say why the tune up was needed,if its missing or a if the over heating and the tune up problem are related,But a good tune up just in parts will run $125.00might be time to pack it's bags!

U are correct, a 'tune up' is not an oil change, although the oil certainly can be changed at the time of a tune up (every 3k miles or twice a year if u don't drive much, and always change the oil filter too). Cars differ, mostly older to newer as to what can and should be done for a tune up. A car from the 1960's would need more parts replaced more often than a new car today (example: electronic ignitions of newer cars eliminate ignition points replacement, and generally, replacement is not as often of other parts: example, spark plugs). So, a tune up can include spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, and I would include fuel and air filters. There are exceptions to this too, making it more complicated to generalize what to replace, as wires and spark plugs can last 100k miles now, some vehicles don't have the traditional dist. cap and rotor to replace. Check your car owners manual for an idea of what to replace and how often. If u don't have the original owners manual, check the car manufacturers web site for info. Good luck with the tune up!
